TECH INDUSTRY INSIGHTS FROM DEVRY BOOTCAMP

At DeVry Bootcamp we believe in the democratization of tech skills development – accelerated Tech Skills learning opportunities for everyone.Our goal is to help people understand and make the most of what tech leaders already know – that the Internet of Things is creating a lot of economic potential for both businesses and individuals. There is an opportunity and a real need for more people to skill up and join this tech transformation if the global market is to reach its full potential.

We believe this macroeconomic trend creates meaningful opportunities for a multitude of individuals with a variety of educational backgrounds. Working with tech industry leaders to translate what is needed for evolving industry demand into our curriculum is a natural fit for DeVry and core to our tech heritage.

DeVry University has been delivering tech education for over 80 years. Our new bootcamps focus on delivering accelerated tech skills development in collaboration with industry partners who know where the market going. This collaborative effort contributes to closing the skills gap by helping students prepare for the future.

Tech Skilled Workers Will Play A Critical Role In The Transformation Of Our Cities

According to the UN, more than half of the world’s population currently lives in urban areas, and that number is projected to grow to almost two-thirds by 2050. This means that another 2.5 billion people will be living in cities in the next 35 years. The size of these cities is projected to grow tremendously as well.

If there’s one place that the Internet of Things (IoT) is making its mark, it’s in the field of healthcare. MarketResearch.com released a report that found IoT deployments in healthcare are set to reach $117 billion by 2020, to say nothing of the other fields connected innovation is impacting. This is no surprise once it’s understood what the connected sensors and smart systems that comprise the IoT are capable of; from wearables that remind you to stay active and healthy to implant sensors that can save lives, this market’s potential impact on the world is very significant.

It’s easy to get caught up in the promise of the Internet of Things (IoT) to make life easier, safer and more enjoyable. From smarter transportation to a revolution in healthcare, the benefits are numerous and consequential. Yet the technology’s potential is packed with unanswered questions and unintended consequences its developers are still struggling to manage.
